Avalon Life Joins Blockchain Experts at PolyCon 2018

Blockchain technology discussed and the successes and concerns the upcoming year may bring.

San Jose, Costa Rica - April 16, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Some of the top leaders of Avalon Life have been invited to attend the 2018 Polycon 18 in the Bahamas to discuss the future potential of Blockchain technology and the successes and concerns the upcoming year may bring. Polycon 18 is the world’s first crypto event dedicated to Tier 1 global financial communities meeting blockchain technology and the economy driven by tokens. The conference brought together the worlds of high finance and blockchain and is attended by institutional investors, retail advisors and high net worth individuals, as well as some of the most exciting and fastest-growing blockchain companies from around the world, including the Costa Rica-based crypto community Avalon Life.

“After gaining mainstream attention in 2017, the volatile crypto market has seen increasing interest from investors and regulators, all looking to stabilize the uncertain outcomes inherent in decentralized money markets,“ writes Kristen Nicole, senior editor at SiliconAngle digital media platform. “One way to seed faith in cryptocurrency is through security tokens, which back digital assets with real assets, such as equity, limited partnership shares and commodities.” The Avalon Life experts asserted that security tokens are particularly useful in the booming world of initial coin offerings, a form of decentralized fundraising that circumvents traditional obstacles such as boardroom power consolidation or bureaucratic red tape. Still, liquidity remains a challenge for security tokens upon launch, due to a lack of support from traditional financial markets and regulatory bodies. This is why use cases in blockchain-based services are necessary to the innovation cycle. Today’s opportunistic innovations that are on display at Polycon 18 have the potential to decentralize utilities, education and even the ballot box.

Based in Costa Rica, Avalon Life offers in-depth cryptocurrency education and innovative blockchain solutions. The company’s product development places a focus on environmental sustainability, while merging new technology with an objective to foster social responsibility. In order to broaden participation with the alternative currency market, Avalon Life created a referral marketing program, and later became the first provider to introduce mining packages with the X11 algorithm. Fueled by the fast evolution of blockchain technology, the company has cultivated strategic partnerships around the globe, and today offers unique blockchain products in numerous sectors within the industry. Their business model provides partners with extensive training, the opportunity for measured engagement in digital currency markets, and access to exclusive products.

LONDON — Inflation in Britain rose in November by its weakest rate in 21 months, a development that's likely to cheer consumers as they get ready for some last-minute Christmas shopping. The Office for National Statistics said Wednesday that consumer prices were up 2.3 percent in the year to November, down slightly from the previous month's 2.4 percent. A fall in gas prices at the pump was the main reason behind the decline. Oil prices have fallen sharply over the past few months largely because of oversupply in the oil market. Samuel Tombs, chief U.K. economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said...

BANGKOK — Facebook has announced its third and biggest purge of military-linked accounts in Myanmar, where critics have charged that the social network did too little to block inflammatory material that fueled communal hatred, particularly against the country's Muslim Rohingya minority. Facebook in a press release posted online Wednesday says it has removed 425 Facebook Pages, 17 Facebook Groups, 135 Facebook accounts and 15 Instagram accounts in Myanmar for engaging in "coordinated inauthentic behavior," meaning they misrepresented who was running the provocative accounts. Facebook alleges the military is behind the accounts. Some 700,000 Rohingya fled their homes in western Myanmar...

LONDON — The British government is publishing long-awaited plans for a post-Brexit immigration system that will end free movement of European Union citizens to the U.K. Home Secretary Sajid Javid said the proposals to be published Wednesday set out a "skills-based immigration system built around the talent and expertise people can bring, rather than where they come from." At present, all EU nationals can live and work in Britain under the bloc's free-movement rules, but that will end after the U.K. leaves in March. The government is proposing no limit on the number of well-paid, skilled immigrants who can settle...

MOSCOW — A gravelly voice rings out from the phone's loudspeaker: "Aren't you scared of me?" The man on the screen, 32-year-old Chechen video blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov, frowns. "I'm not scared of people like you," he says, looking into the camera. "But you people are cruel, so I'm always on my guard." He was apparently talking to one of the most feared men in the Russian province of Chechnya, Magomed Daudov, the right-hand man of strongman Ramzan Kadyrov. Kadyrov and his security forces have been widely accused by international rights groups of extrajudicial arrests, torture and killings — and Kadyrov...

BEIJING — The U.S. government said Tuesday that it is reviewing reports of forced labor at a Chinese internment camp where ethnic minorities are sewing clothes that have been shipped to the U.S. market. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that reporting by The Associated Press and other media "for the first time appears to link the internment camps identified in Western China to the importation of goods produced by forced labor by a U.S. company." The AP tracked shipments from a factory in a camp in China's far western Xinjiang region to Badger Sportswear in North...
